Bulk Product Editor

You can use SHOPLINE’s Bulk Product Editor to mass update products and product variations in your online store. This tool allows you to edit multiple product properties, including name, SKU, images, price, stock, weight, etc. Product information is presented in a tabular sheet which makes the mass editing process fast and easy. 

The Bulk product editor is available from Products page in your SHOPLINE admin. You can use this function to instantly enable, disable, or delete selected products, change prices, and more. 

Download SHOPLINE Bulk Import Template

CSV format has the advantage of saving a large amount of data in a small file size. Thus, SHOPLINE uses CSV documents for bulk import and export product management.

Currently, the system only recognises properly formatted CSV files. CSV is a special data storage file format. Some versions of Microsoft Excel cannot open the CSV file correctly. Please use a professional CSV editor or WPS software to edit and save the file to avoid file format damage and failure in importing product information.

Do not modify the field content and field order in the first row of the template, as that may cause import failure.

Table of content

 


 

Bulk import form introduction

  • Please complete all mandatory fields marked with an "*".
  • Please pay attention to the instructions for filling in each field to avoid import failure.
  • When doing an overwrite update, SHOPLINE will overwrite any existing products with the same handle and existing values ​​will be used for any missing columns.
  • For example, if Product A is under the Brand "Apple", yet the "Brand" column of Product A is empty in the CSV file, the brand information of Product A will be overwritten with a blank after the import.
  • You can leave the optional fields blank, but do not delete the column.

You can edit the following product properties using Bulk Product Editor:
